🇦🇹Franz Peter Schubert ： Ballet from Rosamunde D 797-7

This piece is a piano duet arrangement of the ballet music from Schubert’s incidental music Rosamunde. Above a clear dance-like pulse, a songful melody unfolds with light accompaniment, while changes in expression that suggest shifts of scene provide an additional point of interest. The player carrying the main melody should shape each phrase with a sense of direction and sing freely, while the accompaniment should support the beat without becoming too prominent. Coordinating the players’ breathing and refining the articulation with a light touch brings out the music’s dancing momentum and transparency. Careful attention to the exchange of inner voices helps unite the performance as a single musical whole.
